Zhang Meiyu still wanted to say something, but Tang Xiaomin spoke first.
"These clothes are not cheap, are you sure you can afford them?"
Zhang Guo'er hesitated for a moment. The clothes in this store were indeed not cheap.
But no matter how expensive, it wouldn't exceed a hundred thousand, right? Su Dan Novel Network
Besides, she had just seen that it was ordinary men's loungewear, at most a few thousand yuan would be considered expensive.
Zhou Dan said proudly from the side, "Guo'er doesn't lack that bit of money. Her boyfriend gifted her a sea of volcanic flowers worth a billion, so what's a set of men's clothes? She could even buy out the whole store."
Zhang Guo'er slightly raised her chin, looking as if this was indeed the case.
Zhang Meiyu frowned incessantly, unable to say a word.
She thought, where did this fool come from? If people knew she was her niece, she would only be a disgrace.
Tang Xiaomin stood up and looked at Zhang Guo'er with a half-smile.
Good, this was the effect she wanted.
"Are you really going to fight me for this set of men's loungewear today?"
Zhang Guo'er ignored Tang Xiaomin and handed her card to the sales assistant.
"I'll take this set of clothes. No password, just swipe."
The sales assistant looked troubled at Zhang Meiyu and the others. After all, there was a first-come, first-served policy, and Zhang Meiyu was a VIP of the store and couldn't be easily offended.
Zhang Meiyu said coldly, "Since you want it, then I'll give it to you."
With Zhang Meiyu's word, the sales assistant finally took Zhang Guo'er's card.
Zhang Guo'er won, looking at Zhang Meiyu and Tang Xiaomin with disdain.
"Weren't you quite arrogant before? Why are you so easily giving up clothes you like today? It seems you're really out of money. You should live within your means from now on and don't come to a place like this to shop given your status."
Tang Xiaomin and Zhang Meiyu remained silent, letting her say what she would.
Soon, the sales assistant walked over with a frown.
"Miss, I'm sorry, but this card has insufficient balance. Do you have another payment method?"
Zhang Guo'er was stunned.
"What did you say? How is that possible? My card has a hundred thousand, how can it not be enough?"
"Pfft."
Tang Xiaomin couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Meiyu also rolled her eyes.
The sales assistant said, "Miss, this set of men's loungewear is a limited edition from our brand this season, with exquisite craftsmanship and special materials. The price is one hundred and sixty-eight thousand eight hundred."
"What?"
Zhang Guo'er couldn't believe it.
"It's just a set of men's loungewear, how can it be so expensive?"
"Miss, our brand is a luxury brand, and the price is the same worldwide. If you have any doubts, you can check our brand's official website," the sales assistant said neither subserviently nor overbearingly.
At this point, a look of panic appeared on Zhang Guo'er's face.
She took out her phone and logged into the official website to check, and her doubts were immediately confirmed. What the sales assistant said was true.
"Heh." Tang Xiaomin chuckled playfully.
"Is your wealthy boyfriend treating you very well? Didn't he give you an unlimited black card?"
Zhang Guo'er's face instantly turned ugly.
Zhou Dan, who was beside her, thought she was being angered by Tang Xiaomin and continued to cheer her on.
"What are you talking about? Guo'er probably forgot to bring it today. Guo'er, you're right, aren't you?"
Zhang Guo'er forced herself to stay calm.
"Yes... yes... I just forgot to bring it."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaomin laughed even more mockingly.
"So, do you still want this set of loungewear?"
"Do I need to say? Of course. Guo'er, you're right," Zhou Dan said assertively.
Zhang Guo'er hated Zhou Dan, this terrible teammate, with all her might.
She didn't have enough money, how could she buy it?
But if she didn't buy it, Zhou Dan would be suspicious, and this incident might spread to school.
When those wealthy ladies found out they had been fooled, they would definitely suspend their business cooperation with her father, causing losses.
Weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Guo'er decided to bite the bullet and buy it.
"Buy it, of course, I'll buy it. I'll call my boyfriend right now."
Zhang Guo'er walked to the side and mysteriously called her father.
"Dad, I'm shopping with friends, can you transfer seventy thousand yuan to me again?"
Zhang Guodong on the other end of the phone exploded.
"Didn't I just give you a hundred thousand? Why do you need money again after only two days? Do you think money grows on trees?"
"Dad, I really need to buy that set of clothes today. I'll explain when I get back. Just transfer the money to my card now."
"Guo'er, Dad's money is all tied up in business right now, and I really can't squeeze out any more for you. We can talk about buying clothes another day."
"Dad, but..."
"But what? I've noticed you've become more and more extravagant lately. Don't you know our family's financial situation? Just raising your tuition every year is enough to worry me, can't you understand my difficulties?"
"Dad..."
Zhang Guodong, furious, hung up the phone. When she called again, he wouldn't answer.
In desperation, Zhang Guo'er called her older brother.
He also said he had no money.
In a short while, Zhang Guo'er called all her family members, but none of them could come up with the money.
At this moment, the sales assistant stepped forward and asked, "Miss, do you still want this set of clothes?"
Zhou Dan also asked, "Guo'er, what did your boyfriend say?"
Only Zhang Guo'er knew the embarrassment she was feeling at that moment.
After struggling for a moment, she lowered her proud head and said dejectedly, "My boyfriend said he doesn't like this brand of clothing. His clothes are delivered directly to his villa by the brand according to his measurements."
"Heh heh..."
Tang Xiaomin couldn't hold back and laughed again. Zhang Guo'er was truly the source of her recent amusement.
"Is it that your boyfriend doesn't like it, or that you simply can't afford it?"
"My boyfriend just doesn't like it. Why would I buy something he doesn't like? It's my freedom."
"Well said, whether to buy or not is your freedom. Since you're not buying it now, then I will."
"Sales assistant, swipe the card."
Tang Xiaomin handed a card to the sales assistant, who saw it was an unlimited black card and respectfully took it.
"Miss Tang, please wait a moment."
"Ma Rui, get some water for Ms. Zhang and Miss Tang."
...
Zhang Guo'er also saw Tang Xiaomin's black card and the different treatment they received from the store staff.
Her face involuntarily flushed. Without a word, she turned and left.
Zhou Dan looked complicatedly at Zhang Meiyu and Tang Xiaomin, then also left.
"Wait."
Tang Xiaomin called out to Zhou Dan.
"You're Guo'er's best friend. Have you met her rich boyfriend? What does he look like?"
This question made Zhou Dan's heart skip a beat.
She pretended to be calm.
"Guo'er's boyfriend is no ordinary person. He doesn't want others to know his identity."
Tang Xiaomin looked at Zhou Dan with a complex expression.
"She doesn't even tell you when she gets a boyfriend. It seems Zhang Guo'er doesn't consider you a true friend either."
